Here are my measurements for my Mu XL:
Effective TT is 54cm (while my MTB has 60cm. I did measure this distance at the hight of my MTB's TT. But substract the distance due to handlepost angle)
saddle to bar distance: 64 cm (due to handlepost angle), my MTB has 74cm for comparison (13cm ahead stem length)
models with Syntace Vro (such as the Speed TR) can provide a 4 cm additional reach.
Wheelbase: 103 cm (my MTB has 107cm, typical for road bikes in size Large is 102cm)
The frame fork may be the same [I'm not sure about this, but don't have a way to compare], but the stem/bars are different resulting in a much longer effective TT - ideal for a taller rider.
